In George Washington’s days, there were no cameras. One’s image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how...

[ad] In this day and age, I don’t think so. What was once a luxury is now a necessity, especially with the current society embracing less morality in return of the animal instincts due to the pressures and competitions within the society. Those days, before the mid 90s, no one relied on...

[ad] Very rarely do I share videos on my blog, unless it is a must. In a situation like this, after witnessing their performance, I just had to.  The Voca People is an ensemble of 8 talented musician-actors; 3 female singers that bring the very best female sounds (alt, mezzo, soprano) and...

[ad] “No one lays on his deathbed wishing he had spent more time at the office.” How true is that quotation? Once you have retired, do you forget about work totally? Does the body and mind permit you to do that? I do not believe so as most retirees I know generally miss the...
